[Eo Oa QVIII Correspondent.] Ottaa, Mah ide.—The session pro-. rattan to be a long and perhaps a stormy one. 'Tariff reduction will occupy a, good deal of tituntand, no say nothing of the Crow's Nest Pass -road, there- le sure to be an iterimonious disonssien over the Manitoba settlement. The Government, however, haa a majority of nearly 50 while the! Opposition is net only weak in numbers but weak in suCh meet as Tnp- per,Haggart, -Caron:and Montague. Mr. Lanier hite suffered a good deal from the ghippe and 'would be the better of a long nese; still he is quitestrong enough for a session's work, particularly as he has able colleagues to relieve him of part of the Madan. j The Dingley Bill. The Dinglerbill is a disappointment and it is not. The Republicans were re- turned to pass a more stringent tariff than the Wilson tariff and of course every- body expected that they would do so; on the other hand it was not antici- pated that they would levy such stiff duties on lumber and farm produce. The demand ariade by our protectionists that we shonlil retaliate is regarded here as absurd: In 1895-6 the total foreign trade of the DCrninion was $239,000,000. With Great Britain our trade was $99,700,000; with the States $103,000,000; that is to say, nearly 45 per cent of our gross trade was with the people to the south. Per contra, :their trade with us was only a small fraction of their gross trade. To start a tariff war against them would, therefore, be to incur the risk of enor- mous hiss to ourselves without the chance Of doing much damage to them. To mine to details, what have we to gain by:the proposal to tax anthracite and increase the duty on soft coal? Last ..year the railroads and manufacturers of Ontario' paid $880,000 in: eoft coal duty, which comes out of the people in the shape of dear factory goods and high transportation rates.

Because it sold the land to the Englishmen; we are expected to be- lieve that the whole region up there is a mass of gold and that tt is "robbing the Canadian people of their heritage' to give the foreigner a show at it. For nay part since the Provinoe has xnade money out of the deal I hope the Englishmen will matte some too. Eng- lish capitalists have not been lucky in Canada. They have got the hot end of the poker ahnost every time, whether in mines, railways, Northwest lands or dead -meat schemes, and it would be a good thing for the country if they were to enake somethng just for once. From all that can be learned, however, this is not going to be much of a bonanza. In fact,. while there are numberless bonan- zas on paper all over the Doeninion just at present, it is hard to find a man out- side of the professional boomsters and newspapers in Toronto who has reaped anything out of them; everybody is sure he is -going to make a fortune, het no- body has actually made one. The news- papers and some„ of the boomsters have done well not out of the mines but out ot public credulity. The boom in appar- ently nearing its end and -when it bursts We shall hear no more of the fabulous wealth Col. Engledue bas filched from the peonle's heritage.

GATINEAU. augment this heavy impost on , industry merely in order to diminish American sales? If we were to shut out American soft coal altogether, the damage done to American interests would be relatively trifling'for whilst their sales to Us arnoune. to only 1,500,000 short tone a - year their annual output exceeds 90,000,- 000 long tons. The case against taxing anthrseite is still stronger. There is no anthraehlte in Nova Scotia or anywhere else in !these older provinces. There is 'none in the Northwest or British Col- umbia,' although the hoomsters allege that there is a 'coal which looks like anthratite in the Rooky Mountains. As a matter Of fact, then, taxing anthracite would ;simply be adding -to the cost of fuel in: a cold country without materially helping our own coal industry. Tupper used to pretend when he levied a duty Of 50 cents on antharcite that the duty cheapened the price to the Canadian con- sumer, but, if that. were true, why on earth did he repeal it? - , Logs and Pulp Wood. Ther proposition to put an export duty on logs by way of retaliation for the in- flection of a two -dollar _duty on sawn - pine hainber is 'based on the notion that we have a sort of monopoly of all the standing timber on the continent and the Americans nrast get logs from us or suffer serious Inconvenience. A few Michi- gan firms which tow logs from Canada to their mills would be inconvenienced, but that is all. Last year our total ship- ment el forest products to the United State* including loge, were valued at $18,500,000: This is n large sum, as our trade items go, exceeding by $2,000,000 eur shipments of grain to the whole out- side world; but relatively to the value of the lumber annually consumed in the Statesi (over one thousand million dollars) it amounts to little. Our log exports of ell kinds came to only $1,780,000. It le absurd to suppooe, if they Were stopped altogether, that any oonsideable injury would be done to the United States. On the tether hand the imposition of an ex- port duty would bring into operation Section 196 of the Dingley bill: "That be ease any foreign country or dependeney shall either directly or indirectly imposed upon 'pine, spuce, elm or other saw loge or round unmanufentured timber, pulp wood i stave bolts, shingle boltor head- ing bolts an export duty, discriminating Crown dues, ground rents, 'customs regu- lations or other duty or tax when such articles or any of them are exported or intended for export to the 'United States from ;such country or dependency, then a duty of 26 per cent. ad. val. upon tho lumber mentioned in this paragraph shall be levied, collected and paid in addition to the duty herein impend." In other wordin an export duty on logs would subject our sawn lumber to the specific duty of two dollars per thousand plus 26 per cent. ad val., which would about wind up the trade. Ai i export duty on pulp wood, which some retaliationiste recommend, would, as just seen by section 195, involve our lumbermen in the same disaster. We have no monopoly ef the pulp wood of the World. There is an incalculable quan- tity in the States, Norway, Sweden and elsewhere. Our shipments to the States last year formed a very small fraction indeed of the gross eonituruptionee ' Other Retaliation Proposals. The protectionists want us to retaliate by Maintaining or augmenting the present N. P. duties on American factory goods, SO that they may be able as now to pick tge bones elks farmer. We might retali- ate by taxing American hides, bristles or raw cotton now admitted fri ee which would to some extent help the SCanadian farmer, but that would not salt the book of the protected nulanfaeturers since those commoditiea are the raw material 1 of their own industries.

Neleone Robson, Rossland or ' wherever else it pleaecs, and as a matter of fact has -spent a 'good deal of money in prepariag to build: Wheneverit chooses to complete the road it can do so with- out saylng to Parliament "by your leave." It is preposterous, therefore to talk of the Governnient "defending !the only remaining pass through the moun- tains from the grasp of Van Horne." That is geed enough for a wind -loving audience, but all the same it is nonsense. The Tory party, gave Van Horne power to controlethe pass when it gave the Can- adian Pacific its charter sixteen years ago; and he is not to be blamed- for as- serting his power now. If an independent company were formed and were lxmused by Parliament to build the road,. Parlia- ment could do nothing to prevent Van Herne from forestalling it, from • getting into the pass first and frorn occupying all the available room in the pass with his line, especiallly as certain parts of the pass there is not room for mere than one. All Parliament could do would be to refuse to give him a bonus,- but it could not stop him from monopolizing the route and once he had monopolized the route he could charge what rates he liked subject.' to the provisionin the original charter that rates are not to be interfered with by the Governor -in -Coun- cil till a certain percentage of dividend has been earned on the stock of the entire main line. It follows frora this that in- stead of Parliament being in a position to dictate to Van Horne, the only thing it can do is to come to terms with him. It cannot Hay: "You shall not occupy the pass unless you reduce grain rates in Manitoba." As has just been observed, his charter gives him power to occupy it and the charter is inviolable. The only course left in reality is to snake the bonus granted to him conditional on a reduction of rates. Even then, it is for him to say whether he will -accept the conditions or not. Naturally the bonus must be sufficiently large to induce him to peak a reduction or he will not con- -gent. The wisest- heads here think the :readiest way out of the -difficulty is to give him a moderate bonus—moderate that le, considering the heavy cost of building through the mountains—and purchase, as it were, a rednotion of rates with the bonus and by buying ..back some of the company's lands, those in the IMMO thickly settled part cf Manitoba and the Northwest which being exempt from tax- ation are an impediment and burden on the settler. The Legate From Rome. Sir Mackenile, Bowell, who is now running his old paper, has once more be - 'come an ardent Orangeman. While he was in Office, more especially when as Premier he strove to commit his party and the country to Remediai legislation for Manitoba, he ignored the plow, glori- ous; and immortal memory and forgot all about the blood -bought principles of Au- ghrim Derry and the Boyne. But now that he is in the cold ehades he has re- turned to the lodge and iti "whooping it up" against Laurier and the Pope in fixie style. His cry is that Laurier has truckled. to the Pope by sending Mr. Fitzpatrick and others to Rome to secure the ap- piontment of a Papal legate to Canada. ,The truth is Mr. Bowell and his friends the hierarchy did not want a legate sent. What they desired was a perfectly free hand so that they niight coerce the peo- ple of Quebec into voting the Tory ticket by tluvate of spiritual dananation The legate, it is more than probable, will put a stop to that sort of work, though to be quite candid it bas not been very sucoess- ful as the result in Bonaventtne shows. Mr. °Laurier has had no official deal- ings at all with Rome. The Government as a Goierninent has not approached the Pope or held any communication with him. Mr. Fitzpatrick like Mr. Laurier is a Roman Catholic and both had a right as Catholic laymen to appeal _against what they regarded as the high-handed conduct of certain prelates of the Church. That is exactly what, they have done,. and it ils all they have done. The Pope evidently believes that they have a reasonably strong prima facie case or he would not have appointed a legate to look into their complaint. Sir Mackenzie has no dOubt read Mr.. Charles Lindsay's book, publiehed some years ago, on the state of things in Quebec. At p. 249 Mr. Liadsay tell e how the Quebec legislature, then controlled by the Tory Government, passed an act relating th parishes in whioh 16 recognized the right of the Pope to interfere in the erection of parishes in Lower Canada and as a ,canonical parish becomes, ipso facto a parieh for municipal purposes, this practically meant that, according to the Legislature, the Pope had power to strike municipal boundaries. For that measure Sir Ma,ckenzie's Tory friends were responsible. At p. 246 we are told how Sir Hector "submitted to receive instruction from Rome as to what* duty was as a Canadian legislator in a partioaler instance"—in a cam respect- ing the appointment at a judge in New Brunswick, Sfr Heotor Wag a Minister of the Crown at the time.

Purest and Best Setting the River on Fire. - Sometimes whencia person wants to make an unpleasant remark in a pteass„Lt siert of way about a dull boy, he will ay, "That boy will never set the river n fire." Now,that iS all very true; for yen the'smallest men in the world cauld never set stream. of water on fire, and so perhaps inanY of you who have heard this expression have wondered what is meant by setting the river on fire. In England, many, many year ago, before the millers had machinery for sift - Ing flour, each family was obliged to sift its own flour. For doing this, it was neoessary to use a sieve, called a temse, which was so fixed that- it could be turn- ed round and round in the top of inbar- rel. If it was turned too fast the friction would. sometimes cause it to catch fire; and spit was only the smart, hard-work- ing boys who coulct make it go so ;fast as that, people got into the way of pointing out a lazy boy -by saying that he would never set the ternse on lire. After a while these sieves went out of use, but ea there were still plenty of stupid boy e in the world, people kept on saying that they would never set the temse on fire. Now, the name of the 'river Thames le pro- nounced exactly like the word "temse"; and so after many years, those persons who had never seen or heard of the old- fashioned sieve thought that "getting the texuse on fire" meant setting the, river Thames on fire. This exfiression buiame very popular and travelled far and wide. until the people living near other streams did not see why it Was any hardee for a slothful boy to set the Thames on Ars thin any ether river, and so the name of the river was droppedt and everybody after that aimply gain !the rieer," mean- ing the river of his particular ctly or town. And than is hoW it is that people to -day talk of setting the river on tire. —Fit. Nieholag for November. Nervem Diseases and Modern Life. Dr. Philip Coombe "Knapp strenuously maintains that the racial nervousness of the Americans is imaginary. He claims that, there Is no, definite seientific basis for the common assumption that nervous diseases are increasing and that they are more prevalent in America than else- where. The fact that relatively more pe. pis are in asylums for the insane then formerly is probably simply becauee a larger proportion of the insane are nr:icit m cared for in asylums and the eth adopted for keeping them alive are much more efficient. The increase in deaths due th diseases of the brain is not so great as the inereese in deaths from heart inad kidney diseases. According to Dr. Knapp, the 'argument that the conditions of mod- ern life predispose to nervous disease is not very convincing to those familiar with "the state of things in the past, when life, family and fortune were often in -daily jeopardy." The energy and rest - of the typical American Iniir be- tray a lack of culture and refinement, but it does not show physical degene:racy. The mean is dependent on the extremes, and America is looked to -for athletes, whereas when physicians wish to study the moat interesting cases of hysterin and nervous diseases they go to Paris or Vienna. Dr. Knapp thinks that there is altogether too much idle talk about the increamd nervousness of our age, due to the greater demand which the conditions of modern life make upon the human brig*, and he refuses to believe that Ruth oonditions ars more exacting than tbs.' used to be. "finally," he says, "witn- ess la re evidence in its favor than, hes beenab4y forthcoming, we sawn sot guff dm b11ef be tbe greater DOLIVInid- VHS of Americans as an error."
